*morphmapedgestonodesoffset

Maps selected morph volume edges to the specified node list.

Syntax

*morphmapedgestonodesoffset user_mark_id node_list use_symmetry use_constraints project vector_id number_of_mid_handles offset

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

This command will fit (evenly distribute) or project (along vector or normal) the handles on the marked morph volume edges to a line calculated from the specified points.

Inputs

user_mark_id: The ID of the user mark containing the morph edges. Valid values are 0-3.
node_list: The ID of the list containing the input nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
use_symmetry: 0 - Do not use symmetry links; 1 - Use symmetry links
use_constraints: 0 - Do not use constraints; 1 - Use constraints
project: 0 or 10 - Project along vector defined by vector_id; 1 or 11 - Project normal to line; 2 or 12 - Fit to line; If offset is non-zero, the offset will be measured from the closest point on the line for values of 0 and 1. The offset will be measured along the projection vector or normal for values of 10 and 11. Offsets will not be applied for a value of 2.
vector_id: The ID of vector created using *createvector for the projection direction. Must be set to 1.
number_of_mid_handles: -1 - Do not change the handles on the edges; 0 – 5 - Update the number of mid-handles on the edges to this number
offset: The distance to offset nodes from the target. Not used if project is 2.; The offset will be measured from the closest point on the line for values of project of 0 and 1. The offset will be measured along the projection vector normal for values of project of 10 and 11.

Examples

To map edges on mark 0 offset by 1.2 from a node list along a vector leaving the handles unchanged:

*morphmanageedgemark 0 0 3
*morphmanageedgemark 2 0 1
*morphmanageedgemark 4 0 1
*createlist nodes 1
*createvector 1 1.0 0.0 0.0
*morphmapedgestonodesoffset 0 1 1 1 0 1 -1 1.2
*morphmanageedgemark 0 0 3

To map edges on mark 1 to a node list along the node list normal with 3 mid-handles per edge:

*morphmanageedgemark 0 1 3
*morphmanageedgemark 2 1 1
*morphmanageedgemark 4 1 1
*createlist nodes 1
*createvector 1 1.0 0.0 0.0
*morphmapedgestonodesoffset 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 0.0
*morphmanageedgemark 0 1 3

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
